I got the article on Turkish Daily News. It is probably still on the homepage as it is a new article.

I think the study is interesting because it seems that Turkish women are changing at a faster rate than Turkish men.

I was at a women's healthcare conference a few years back in Turkey. We were mostly talking about OB/GYN care for women but touched on the subject of domestic violence.

I think that the change in the attitude of women in Turkey is essential to changing the overall cycle of domestic violence.
